Back to School! #PASDFirstDay

Monday is #PASDFirstDay and PCEF wants to help you commemorate this first day of school.

All kindergarten families will receive a postal mailing from us welcoming them to the district. This mailing includes a special sign for their kindergartener to use for those Instagrammable first day of school photos.

However, we want ALL students to be able to show off their Phantom pride on the first day of school.

So once again we created these customizable #PASDFirstDay Signs for you to print out and use to take a photo of your child before they get on the bus or walk to school.

Please tag #PASDFirstDay if you post your photos!

  • And SO MUCH MORE

Here are some of the faces you’ve helped put a smile on:

Phantom Trivia Night

PCEF Phantom Trivia Night

Picture this – it’s a cold dark night in January, but you are gathered (safely, virtually) with friends, furiously trying to remember the Best Picture Oscar winner of 2002 or what year the first iPhone was released*.

We had to cancel the annual Phantom Fundraiser, but we can still gather virtually and play trivia at home to support education in Phoenixville!

Form a team of up to 6 people with your friends and neighbors (they don’t even have to live in Phoenixville thanks to the wonder of Zoom!) and register to play.

Tickets are limited so get yours today.

We’re In This…Together!

TOGETHER we are doing great things! Thanks to your generous support during the pandemic, we’ve fed families and delivered books and school supplies to families in need throughout PASD.

But additional needs remain this fall. Our students started school on Monday virtually, using personal or PASD-supplied laptops. We all quickly realized how crucial internet access is.

But many families have never had internet service because they cannot afford it.

So in partnership with PASD, we’ve arranged for deeply discounted internet access for our families most in need.

Click here to be part of Together We Can!

Can you help?

Your donation of $250 will pay for one household’s internet connection this school year. A $100 gift will provide a full semester of service.

We anticipate that there are 200-300 PASD families who currently have NO internet. They have relied on cell phone coverage to access email but their children cannot attend Zoom classes or upload assignments.

We were overwhelmed by the donations we received in April this year; that support will continue to help many families this fall. However, the current need exceeds the funds left in our Together We Can fund – that is where you come in!

These kids are OUR KIDS – your help ensures that they can continue learning in this virtual school environment. Please give to the Together We Can fund because TOGETHER WE ARE PHOENIXVILLE!

We have seen the best of our community during this crisis, and PCEF is proud to be the steward of your generosity.

Regards,

Joan Cadigan
Executive Director

Yes, I Can Help!

First Day of School 2020 Signs

Monday is #PASDFirstDay and PCEF wants to help you commemorate this most unusual first day of school!

All kindergarten families will receive a postal mailing from us welcoming them to the district. This mailing includes a special sign for their kindergartener to use for those Instagrammable first day of school photos! Even though school might be taking place at the kitchen table it is still a milestone.

However, we want ALL students to be able to show off their Phantom pride on the first day of school.

We created these #PASDFirstDay signs for you to print out and use to take a photo of your child before they fire up their computer and log in to school. (You can type in your child’s grade before printing!)

Because this is such a crazy, unusual situation we find ourselves in, we created two different signs for you! One regular one and one with a little more “attitude” to reflect how you may be feeling about the year 2020. Please tag #PASDFirstDay if you post your photos!
